This just struck me after reading a comment in another thread about living wills. Has everyone made provision in case the worst happens to you and your children are left alone?
I find this really difficult. I have 2 brothers, one of whom I no longer speak to. Even if we were talking to each other, I certainly wouldn't want my child to be raised by his wife. My other brother lives 200 miles away, dotes on my daughter but is pretty much living a bachelor life in London. My mum is in her late 60's and, physically, not in the best of health. My father is dead. My daughter rarely sees her father, he lives 200 miles away and the complications of his domestic life mean it would not really be appropriate for her to live with him.
At the moment, it would be my mother but, realistically, this may not be long term. Sorry to be morbid but has anyone else had this dilemma and how have you resolved it?
